What a bunch of freakin' douche tubes these bureaucrats are.
Can't say it better than most here, but supporting produce made outside the shire over a company that has been awarded for excellence within it is short-sighted in the extreme.
Some ideas that 4Pines should put together:
- Host their own 'Beer & Food' festival in protest - turn it into an event that shows that great craft beer can be paired well with fine food.
- Invite the Douche Bag Mayor and get that person to literally eat and drink their words and admit that beer pairs well with food and should be supported at future festivals.
- PR the 4Pines festival and protest story in the same publication as this article
- Send a one page press release of their concerns to other leading Sydney papers for inclusion in their articles
- If all fails or that's too hard turn up to a council meeting with a bottle of wine from elsewhere and a bottle of manly beer and ask the councilors eye to eye why they are supporting an interstate winery over local business and their own constituents.
- Hand out flyers in front of the Food and Wine Festival detailing why they are not attending the event and ask them to support the business down the road after they enjoy the event. Place an enticing offer on the flyer to get the punters in. Get photos of punters who do come in and then send these photos to publications as further PR of their effective protest, giving council a lot to think about.
- If this nonsense continues next year then make the protest event an annual event.
Imbeciles like this shouldn't be representing the rest of us. They need to be taught a few things. :angry:
